Using misoprostol to improve cervical cancer prevention
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a medication called misoprostol can help doctors see the cervix better during colposcopy, which may improve detection and prevention of cervical cancer. It is for women who have a certain type of cervix that is harder to examine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 25 years old or older
- You have a type 3 transformation zone (a hard-to-see area on the cervix) confirmed by an exam
- You are not pregnant
- You have not had a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus)
- You do not have active cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix)

This trial is looking at better ways to diagnose changes in the cervix in women after menopause. It may help by improving how doctors decide which cervical abnormalities need attention and follow-up.
This trial tests if giving a medication called misoprostol as a rectal suppository can help reduce bleeding during a planned cesarean section. If you are having a planned cesarean and are generally healthy, this study might be an option for you.
This trial tests if misoprostol, a medication that softens the cervix, helps make hysteroscopic myomectomy (a procedure to remove fibroids through the vagina) easier or safer. It is for women with small, inner-womb fibroids who are scheduled for this surgery.
This study tests a new technology to help find cervical cancer earlier by focusing on people who already had an abnormal screening result. It may help improve how abnormal tests are checked and diagnosed.
This trial tests if giving misoprostol before surgery can reduce blood loss during the removal of uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths). It is for women who need laparoscopic or open surgery for their fibroids.
This study compares two ways to prepare the cervix before a hysteroscopy (a camera test) in postmenopausal women. It aims to see which method makes the procedure easier and more comfortable.
